Should Vogt have let Bibee work out of his own jam?
Wasn’t Sandlin’s or Gaddis’ day!Losses happen it’s baseball.. just wasn’t out day
by the old rules of 6ip, 3er being a quality start, bibee has 4 in 13 startsYeah, the one pitcher I feel decent about sending out there. Sucks to lose that one for sure.
No - was well over 90 pitches and looked gassed.Should Vogt have let Bibee work out of his own jam?

quality win for kc and they needed it
Blame @Otsego Mar .. he didn't post the times
Like a keeper. Started 1 or 2 double plays today, diving/sliding catch in CF, 106 EV single up the middle.Haven't been able to watch the last few games....but I did catch today's. Naylor bros had a couple costly errors today.
How's the Schnee look?

I always appreciate these posts, but especially after a game I wasn't able to watch much of. Thank you for what you do!The things the Guardians have been so good at all year let them down today. An error by Gimenez led to one run and a bad throw to the plate by Josh Naylor led to another in a one-run loss.
The bullpen that has practically been airtight gave up the winning run when the #8 and #9 hitters got a double and single with two outs and nobody on. The double was amazing; an 0-2 fastball at 95 that was almost in Frazier's armpit that he lined down the right field line. Then Isbel, hitting .203 coming in, jumped on a first pitch fastball down the middle for the deciding hit. Bad pitch by Gaddis.
The Guardians were 1-for-8 with RISP. They've been outstanding in those situations this year but not today.
Defense, relief pitching, and hitting with RISP - three things the Guardians have excelled at but not today. Sandlin came in and gave up a double to a right-handed hitter which drove in the 2nd run and set up the 3rd when Naylor's throw was off the plate.
Naylor also dropped a pickoff throw from his brother that rolled into the dugout and allowed the runner to go from first to third. Just a wierd day with Gimenez letting a sinking line drive get under his glove and Josh making two bad plays.
The key was the first inning when they had the bases loaded and nobody out but only got one run as Josh, Manzardo, and Brennan could not turn it into a multi-run inning. Singer kept the ball down and away and got Josh and Manzardo to hit ground balls to short. The Guardians are now 1-9 when they don't have a multi-run inning.
KC has three lefties in the pen and they used them all. Their bullpen, ranked 24th in ERA, went 5.1 innings without allowing a hit. We'll see that from the Royals a lot this year - using multiple lefties against the G's.
Hard to believe we didn't get a run in 5.1 innings, but their relievers were sharp today.
Eleven more games between these teams this year and it looks like it's going to be a war. The Royals were missing their third best hitter in OPS with Michael Massey out. Vinny Pasquantino is 8-for-22 in his last five games. He had two doubles today and a line drive that Gimenez came up with on one hop and threw him out. The first four hitters in their batting order are really good and when they get Massey back that's five.
Schneemann was 1-for-3 with a walk and has been on five times in ten plate appearances. Hope he can keep it up.
